AngryBogle Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 I bought some models off eBay and some of them came on metal bases attached to the plastic bases. I didn't want to warp the bases when I boiled the minis in order to remove the excessive amount of glue and I wanted to use green stuff to piece them together instead. The problem is there is a lot of super glue stuck onto the plastic bases and I can't scrap it off. I don't want to just stick the metal bases over the super glue because it doesn't sit flat because of the crazy amount of glue the previous owner used and I'd like to avoid just buying new bases. Does anyone know some good methods to remove super glue from plastic without warping it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratty Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 You might try brake fluid, it doesn't attack plastic, but I'm pretty sure models I've stripped with it have fallen to pieces in the past. So it might attack Super glue, but I can't be certain. ---------- Post added at 02:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:52 AM ---------- Saying that plastic bases are quite cheap, so it might not be much of a saving.

adary Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 Oven cleaner will do a great job of removing it. You can also stick it in the freezer overnight and just chip it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryBogle Posted January 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) No such luck with freezing or oven cleaner. I don't think I'm gonna try brake fluid because the oven cleaner was some very strong stuff. Think I may have to buy new bases. :/ Edited January 10, 2013 by AngryBogle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breotan Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Fingernail polish remove will get superglue off plastic just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
